LongBow and Ivo suggested to have an open debate to this theme, and who am I to go against their wish?Hello guys!
Long time no see from me, right? Yeah, I've been kind of busy with my degree work, and well, maybe I've lost a bit of motivation of creating stuffs for GR. However, you know surely, how much I love this game, so I would like to share you an idea.
I've been wondering on a timeline site, with writing the history of GeneRally, as detailed as we can get. Main idea would be to sort happenings by year, or if possible, by months. Of course a precision to days in these is not needed, but some pictures, results, milestones, etc. would be just great to be listed. And that's where you would come in, guys.
Actually, we are the so-to-say "old guys" of GeneRally, some of us are in business since the first day GR has been released. I don't know how much you spared from old stuffs (pics from first track database, forum of Soltys, RSC, competition sites, etc.), but I know we could get that through.
Don't misunderstand me though, this will be a really complex job. Neither am I totally sure, if we could manage to create this yearbook. But I think it would really worth a try to write a chronicle of GeneRally to the time, when GR sequel will be released, and so that we could introduce the game for those, who join to us with the brand-new game.
So, guys, please let me think, what you think about this idea. If you think it's good enough to be discussed for the community, just note me, and I'll create a topic from this.
Cheers,
Herbal
So, guys, you would have two jobs to do.
1. I'll maintain in the second post, which happenings you think as milestones. For these I need your help, too, what you ACTUALLY think as them. No trolling, please, this is serious business. No exact times in days are needed, except for forum and site starts/changes/closures and some extraordinary competitions.
2. The place is uncertain currently. At the moment I've got three ideas: one would be wikia.com, a second is a static HTML on gene-rally.com subsite (chronicle.gene-rally.com) and third is a Facebook timeline. Which one do you think would fit the most to us?
Of course if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to post them!
